I am in the very. same. room. as Maria, MissionBas, and liebling Michael, otherwise known as Bollwoodblog.de (who has already posted pictures) - and Babasko too, of course, though that is old news by this point and I'm beginning to take it for granted.

It is superwow already.

Update to post (later that night): here we are! Thanks to Michael for the picture. Und ja, I am making a weird scrunchy face - a classic example of why, when the camera is on the timer, you do not move one teeny bit until you hear the click.

I could not agree more. Earlier today when I was writing this post, I started to write something about how North America needs to get in the game, and I even considered appealing to one's jingoism, something along the lines of "we saved their arses in WWII and now look at them outdoing us," but that made me feel icky, so I didn't, even though it was entirely in jest. And then I wondered if there are any Mexican or Canadian Bollybloggers (I know of at least two fabulouc Canadian readers, but to my knowledge neither of them writes about movies anywhere). Anyway, once the meetup is over and I get home, I wll definitely do my best to appeal to NA to get ourselves together for a get-together.

So far the meetup is going great gangbusters and is very fun, and I imagine it would be even better if I could understand what the heck is going on most of the time.

Bong Along: a blog on vintage Bengali movies co-written by Indie Quill and me (and perhaps a few very friendly appearances by other friends as well).

Masala Zindabad: the podcast by Indie Quill and me, often featuring other writers and fans as guests. Masala Zindabad is an affectionate and thoughtful look at the broad range of themes that define Bollywood and make Bollywood defy definition. Available at iTunes.

The Cultural Gutter : my work on Indian cinema at a site dedicated to thoughtful writing about disreputable art.

Order of the Skeleton Suit: the Agents of M.O.S.S. are a shadowy confederation of like-minded writers, broadcasters, creators, and jetsetters who have banded together in a bold mission to bring international intrigue and pop entertainment to the masses. Can anyone stand in the way of their diabolical schemes?
